The Republic of Universal State Formula is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.204 billion citizens of Universal State Formula are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Prime. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Universal State Formula economy, worth a remarkable 5,217 trillion Standard Monetary Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 724,288 Standard Monetary Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the only Maxxmas gift frontline troops receive from officers is a bullet with the enemy's name on it, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Universal State Formula's national animal is the Leviathan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Universal State Formula is ranked 167^th in the world and 13^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 116,283.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
